at least one ti re is too low or new sensors were
not adapted :
RE
indicator lights turns on after turning the
ignition on
The tire pressure is t oo low compared to the
specif ied pressure .
.,. Check and store t he t ire pressure(s) the next
ti me it is poss ible ¢ page 304 .
RE
indicator light turns on while driving
Wheels with new senso rs were not adapted or
the t ire pressu re has reached a critical leve l com-
par ed to t he specified press ure.
.,. Avoid unnecessary steering and braking maneu-

Storing new tire pressures
Applies to: 58 plus
Correctly stored tire pressure specifications are
necessary for reliable tire pressure monitoring.
.,. Check the tire pressures in all wheels .
-
.,. If necessary , correct the tire press ure according
to the specifications on the sticker on the driv-
er's doo r q page 291. Only correct t he pressure
in t ires whose tempe rature is appro ximate ly
the same as the ambient tempera tur e. If the
tempe rature of the tire is higher than the ambi-
ent air tempe rature, t he t ire pressure must be
increased approxim ate ly 3 PSI (0,2 ba r) above
the val ue on t he sticker .
.,. Switch t he ignitio n on .
.,. Select:
!CAR !
function button > Car systems >
Tire pressure monitoring > Store tire pressure.
After storing, the t ire pressu re monitoring sys-
tem measures t he current t ire pressures and
st ores them as the new specif ied pressures .
.,. If the changed tire pressures are not displayed
in the Infotainment system, d rive the veh icle
for approximately 10 minutes so that the sen-
so r signa l from the wheels is received again.
During this adapta t ion phase, --,-- is d isplayed
fo r pressure a nd temperat ure and t he Tire Pres-
su re Monit oring Syst em is on ly parti ally availa-
ble: it only warns you if one or more of t he tire
pressures is/are under t he minim um permitted
val ue. If th is is the case, the
